Asus to launch Eee PC pre-loaded with Ubuntu Linux

Asus is to start shipping models of its Eee PC range pre-installed with Linux-based operating system Ubuntu 10.10

Chris Kenyon, vice president of OEM Services at Ubunbtu provider Canonical, explained that partnering with Asus to ship the software out of the box made sense for both firms."Many businesses are turning to Ubuntu as they look for a cost-effective, proven, and easy to use and manage operating system that can be delivered on business-quality laptops," he said.
